The History of Bow Quarter makes the buildings in Bow of both of architectural and historical importance. Originally a Bryant and May factory constructed in 1861, once being the biggest factory in London. It was the site of the Match Girls Strike in the 1880’s this in turn formed the Union of Women Matchmakers, later renamed the Matchmakers Union. As the site is of Historical importance English Heritage named the site with a blue plaque in 2022 that can be seen on the front of the building near the concierge office. Whilst many sections of the buildings didn’t survive, the site was one of East Londons first urban renewal projects and the factory building is still an integral part of the development.
